Summary

In the early morning hours of late December 2025, a quiet residential street on Liberty Road in Lexington, Kentucky, became the scene of a terrifying home invasion.

This episode of True CrimeCast breaks down the chaotic arrest of Dion Hale, a 35-year-old who now faces a mountain of felony charges—including first-degree burglary, strangulation, and assaulting a police officer.
